Dust on a concrete runway, in summertime when it's hot and windy dust will end up on the runway and I doubt it was removed like snow or ice. I know this for a fact, live 150 meters from a runway in a place with very dry conditions, ofcourse dust when it's raining.... is/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

be sure to look carefully........the 'dust' cloud is caused by prop-wash, not wheels.........if you take-off awayfrom the main strip, the longer grass makes it tough to get moving, so you put up a lot of dust before you start to move

OH well, we did report the "dust in the rain" bug but I guess since rain is a function of the mission file, and dust versions are a function of the map file, that they couldn't make a connection between those two.

Otherwise it's a nice touch, it helps when taking off - because if you are about to colide with the guy on front of you you'll know when you are thick in his dust clouds. And it looks cool.

well, i would rather have a p47 that all the instruments worked in and that rolled halfway realistic than the dust

but it is a cool effect

well in that spirit trees are unnecessary, so are skin, hi polygon models, ripples on water, and ground textures/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif You could just have planes disappear instead of explode, its just pretty effects ya know.

Thanks Oleg for adding more eye candy and making me feel less guilty for constantly upgrading my hardware/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif
